Ways of Time
Coming soon
About the game
A pixel RPG between dream and reality: explore villages, frozen trails and a sinister Shadow Castle, fight mighty bosses with sword, bow and magic – alone or in co-op with up to three friends – and unwind by fishing, farming or with your loyal companion.
Original Steam description
Time has its own ways …
You wake up in your small room – an ordinary morning, or so it seems. But beyond the village, something is stirring: guards fail to return, an ancient Titan awakens in forgotten ruins, and shadows reach out over the land from the distant Shadow Castle.
Ways of Time is a handcrafted pixel RPG with real-time combat, a mysterious story and a living world full of things to discover – alone or together with friends.
